450 divided by 270

Here are two ways:

First way:

      1 
270)450
    270
    180

1%26180%2F270 = 1%2618%2F27 = 1%262%2F3

Second way:

450%2F270

Since both end with a 0, they can both be divided by 10, so:

%22450%F710%22%2F%22270%F710%22

To divide by 10, just drop off the 0's on the end and you get

45%2F27

Now if we remember our 9's multiflication facts, we
remember that 5×9 = 45 and 3×9 = 27, so

%2245%F79%22%2F%2227%F79%22

and you get

5%2F3

Then you change that to a mixed number and get:

1%262%2F3
